The study of decision making spans such varied fields as neuroscience, psychology,
economics, statistics, political science, and computer science. Despite this diversity of …

Classification images have recently become a widely used tool in visual psychophysics.
Here, I review the development of classification image methods over the past fifteen years. I …

Several widely accepted models of decision making suggest that, during simple decision
tasks, neural activity builds up until a threshold is reached and a decision is made. These …

Decision-making involves the selection of one out of many possible courses of action. A
decision may bear on other decisions, as when humans seek a second medical opinion …

Decisions about sensory stimuli are often based on an accumulation of evidence in time.
When subjects control stimulus duration, the decision terminates when the accumulated …

It is often suggested that decisions are made when accumulated sensory information
reaches a fixed accuracy criterion. This is supported by many studies showing a gradual …

In our dynamic world, decisions about noisy stimuli can require temporal accumulation of
evidence to identify steady signals, differentiation to detect unpredictable changes in those …

In perceptual discrimination tasks, a subject's response time is determined by both sensory
and motor processes. Measuring the time consumed by the perceptual evaluation step …

A multitude of models have been proposed to account for the neural mechanism of value
integration and decision making in speeded decision tasks. While most of these models …

The gradual accumulation of sensory evidence is a crucial component of perceptual
decision making, but its neural mechanisms are still poorly understood. Given the wide …
